Okay, so my new duralumin barrel and receiver do not line up correctly, and for some reason (I have yet to figure out why) this doesn't cause wobble but instead makes the bolt near impossible to pull back.
Now, my situation is that when I screw in the receiver to the barrel, without any internals, they are off by about 1/8 of a turn. However, when I put the bolt in, they lock in place but the bolt is near impossible to pull back. I'm wondering if this is normal with a new PDI receiver and a teflon cylinder. I've lubed everything up, but perhaps it requires a break-in?
If this is not typical, does anyone have experiences with getting factory-defect items returned to x-fire for a refund? They've been installed in the gun but are in almost exactly the same condition I got them in (you can tell they've been in the gun due to lube and small scuffs on the finish). I received the items yesterday at 5 and emailed PDI that same night after attempted installation. I sent a second email to a different branch of their email service, just in case, today.
As you can imagine, I'm sort of freaking out at $350 wasted because of poor QC. This is the second time I've gotten a bad barrel/receiver set (first being on the Maruzen) and I'm running out of money. I'll essentially have to quit mainstream airsoft for an indeterminate amount of time if I can't work this out, because I'm OUT of project money, and the rifle is far from finished.
